What is the name of the keyblade wielded by Riku in Kingdom Hearts II?

In Kingdom Hearts II, Riku wields the Keyblade called Way to the Dawn. Its design echoes Riku’s earlier weapon, Soul Eater, which he used while embracing the power of darkness in the original Kingdom Hearts.

The name reflects Riku’s decision to accept both light and darkness rather than reject either side. It comes from his resolve in Chain of Memories to follow “the road to dawn,” meaning a difficult path toward understanding and redemption. The Keyblade’s appearance also visually connects Riku’s past struggles with his more balanced identity.

Way to the Dawn is specifically Riku’s weapon in Kingdom Hearts II. Kingdom Key belongs primarily to Sora, while Oblivion and Oathkeeper are Keyblade forms associated with Sora’s story and relationships. Riku later receives Braveheart in Kingdom Hearts III, so the answer depends on the game named in the question.
